A 16-year-old Catholic schoolboy “pimped out” his girlfriend as a stripper, demanded she have sex with strangers and punished her with paintball gunshots and Taser blasts, the young woman testified Wednesday.

The boy, now 17, is on trial for charges including human trafficking, living off the avails of prostitution and assault causing bodily harm.

The slim, soft-spoken woman, now 18, testified they started dating in August 2011. Within days she was using fake ID to strip in local clubs, letting “disgusting” men grope her for $20-a-song lap dances.

He had his name tattooed on her neck, bought her towering “stripper heels” and told her to get her hair and nails done because “we want you looking good, babe.”

He told her he’d love her forever and was saving the money she handed over -- $24,000 in two months -- to buy a house so she could retire before she was 30.

But he called her a “slacker” and said she had to do forbidden “extras” at the strip club to make more money, she testified. Just once, she had sex with a man for $100.

Another time, he demanded she have sex with a friend -- who luckily couldn’t perform -- for $200 because she hadn’t made enough to pay for their motel room, she said.

“I felt like he just saw me as his personal sex object and all his friends could take a turn at me,” she testified.

She described him twice having another friend -- who was running his own girl -- shoot her with a paintball gun.

“(He) told me I needed to be shot because I didn’t work for a week and that’s what I deserve,” she said. “I was crying. He just said that’s what happens when you don’t work.”

Once he was drunk and used a Taser on her as “a joke,” but the next day he did it again after she talked back, she said.

On her 17th birthday, he brought her a cake then beat her with his iPhone.

For a month, she escaped to her father’s house by promising to return with money, but she went back.

Just after Christmas 2011, she texted “please help me” to a police detective from a motel room in Mississauga, where she’d been taken to strip, after she said he’d covered her with a blanket and beat her until she bled.
